In 2-dimensions, the Cartesian coordinate system comprises a pair of axes meeting at right angles at a point called the origin. Conventionally the axes are identified as the x-axis (going from left to right) and the y-axis (going from the bottom to the top).
Every point of the Cartesian plane is allocated an ordered pair of numbers, called coordinates. The first number (abscissa) represents the distance of the point to the right of the origin and the second (ordinate) represents the distance in the upward direction. If the point is to the left or below the origin then the corresponding coordinate is negative.
